Arielle Jacobs is a musical theater performer who has gotten the opportunity to take in part in several iconic shows. She made her professional theater debut performing as Gabriella Montez in the national tour of High School Musical. (I unknowingly saw her in the show when I was 5) She then went on to be part of the original touring cast of In The Heights where she played Nina, and eventually made her Broadway debut in that same roll. Jacobs' then went on to play Nessarose in Wicked on Broadway alongside former podcast guests, Kara Lindsay and Caroline Bowman. ( She was my first Nessa at my very first Broadway show alongside Bowman and Lindsay) Another role Jacobs' originated was Princess Jasmine in the Australian version of Aladdin, which then lead her to her most recent Broadway gig of playing the same role in Aladdin prior to the COVID pandemic.
